About
Mount Noah Lodge in South Africa

" The first yacht happened by chance. "Sagitta" arrived on Mount Noah when her trailer broke down on a journey to Durban. Being the closest ‘safe harbour’ to the breakdown, she unknowingly found a permanent home here in the desert. On this day Dr. Warrington, owner, saw the perfect irony in an ocean vessel joining the gorgeous landscapes of the Little Karoo - a pre-historic lake, offering yacht accommodation. Mount Noah, a family-run Lodge was born."

Other vessels in the Dry-Dock Marina, “Bekka Round the World”, “Juliano”, “Blew Pearl”, “Spartan”, “The Ark”, “The Houseboat” arrived with their own stories, now transformed into on-land yacht accommodation. In addition there's a variety of “on land” accommodation ranging from basic to luxury rooms.

"Experience living on a yacht whilst still enjoying a luxurious night away from home"
